@armanneto @vanessahauf Vc não tem esse poder. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@vanessahauf Você leu o artigo do New York Times? Acredita que os repórteres deveriam esconder os novos estudos médicos sobre os danos a longo prazo dos bloqueadores da puberdade para que os pais não saibam sobre esses riscos e perigos antes de entregá-los aos filhos? Vc odeia a ciência? Sim. — PolitiTweet.org

@Run_GRP It's not an obligatory "but." I don't do those. I believe adults should have the absolute right to get whatever medical treatments or surgeries they conclude will enhance their self-actualization, and it's really nobody's business how they choose to do that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I have no tolerance for people who treat trans identity abusively or tell adults they can't live their lives how they want. But all of these issues -- most particularly the ones affecting kids -- are very new and complex. You have every right to question and debate them. https://t.co/QAbFXXTQxP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

You might recall prominent Dem trans activist @cmclymer -- who had a long history as a male feminist of harassing and abusing women, which is now gone to history -- praised Iran for being so progressive on trans treatments when it's actually used as a means of erasing gay people: https://t.co/gWXGIPhc50 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And, for those raising the issue of "conversion therapy": using (often pressured) sex-reassignment treatments and surgeries is how homosexuality is erased in Iran. "Oh, that boy likes dolls and other boys? Just make him a girl: problem solved": https://t.co/YJDEvAa2F5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Trans adults deserve the absolute right to decide how they will live, and to be treated with respect and live with dignity and full equal rights. But somehow, we've accepted only bigots question if these brand new medical treatments are safe for kids: https://t.co/fOSdoH8zJb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And, as always, so much of this is based on ratifying long-discarded, toxic gender stereotypes. Look at this paragraph. We finally accepted the idea that it's OK for boys to play with dolls and girls to have short hair and play sports. Now: boys like that are told they're girls: https://t.co/zrsXVfiwtB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Society constantly debates what kids can and can't do. We leave some things to parents but not everything (you can't let your kids drink alcohol, see X rated films, or drive, etc.). The idea that society can't debate if these treatments are safe and moral for kids is grotesque. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The problem is there's a vast, sprawling and well-funded gay and lesbian activist bureaucracy that won after Obergefell. But these bureaucracies can't win, since that means they disappear. So they always push to the place where there's resistance: ie medical treatment for kids. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If the trans movement has remained focus on where the gay movement always was focused - the right of *adults* to live their lives with full autonomy and to be respected in their identity - there would have been little controversy. The "live and let live" ethos prevails in the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That liberals have been able to basically force people to swallow new, very radical gender realities with no data is a testament to their hegemony in media, politics, Hollywood, etc. But it's immoral to ban debate over science, especially for kids' health. Read the NYT article. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the most dishonest debate-closing tactics has been to imply those who write a lot about trans issues (that does not include me) are creepily obsessed with what adults do to their bodies. It's just a lie: most of the debate is about what society is doing to *young kids.* — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Credit to the NYT for writing this unflinching look at how puberty blockers have been handed out to kids as young as 8 with almost no data on their safety, yet now studies are finding - surprise! - they cause all kinds of harms, including to bone density: https://t.co/fOSdoH97yJ — PolitiTweet.org

@profsosa13 @davidmirandario Obrigado por perguntar. Estamos postando atualizações regulares, sendo a última há uma semana (https://t.co/oeaeJse2vQ); o UOL enviou um repórter para nos acompanhar por uma semana e publicou um perfil aqui (https://t.co/9KRhCT1mYs); e o hospital tem boletins oficiais regulares: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If Republicans end up with a larger share of the popular vote than Democrats, yet don't take control of the Senate and House, will this be regarded as a grave anti-democratic outcome? It's not certain they will hold this popular vote lead, so treat it as a hypothetical for now: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davidcnswanson Also, my husband spent 6 years as an elected official in Brazil in a socialist party so he and many others like him probably count as my talking to leftists, beyond the large number of left-wing presidents and leaders I've interviewed or otherwise participated in talks with. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davidcnswanson I interviewed Evo, Lula, Dilma, Corbyn, Chomsky and AOC, among others. So I'm acutely aware of the difference between the international left and what passes for the US "left." Who are the prominent US leftists objecting to Big Tech censorship and DHS/FBI's role? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I already know most on the liberal-left see nothing wrong with the US Security State (and Dems generally) instructing Big Tech how to censor, but Americans should instinctively recoil. It's too much even for this #Resistance professor & WPost columnist: https://t.co/JdJMNMUbjp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This has been demonstrated many times -- most recently by the reporting of @lhfang and @kenklippenstein: here are Big Tech execs saying they meet regularly with the US Security State (FBI/DHS) to hear their demands for censorship and talks about "threats" https://t.co/eZZXAJc4Gn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A classic hallmark of "fascism" is uniting corporate and state power to control the population, particularly by dictating what they can and can't say. This is exactly what Dems have been doing with the internet, as the very people claiming to be "anti-fascism" warriors cheer. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It goes without saying that a Senator using his power to punish private companies for mocking him -- or, worse, for refusing to obey his censorship orders -- is a grave and dangerous abuse of power. That so many left-liberals cheer this tells you who they are and how they think. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And @SenMarkey in particular has been one of the Democrats most explicit in telling Big Tech executives: you either "take down" the posts we regard as dangerous, or you will face legal and regulatory punishment. This is a core Democratic Party threat: https://t.co/kTmOH4gzjM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This has been the most overlooked part of the debate over Big Tech censorship from the start. This is not, as liberal censorship defenders claim, a case of private companies deciding to censor. They're doing it under explicit punishment threats from Dems: https://t.co/KBMZpFjqpj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

So revealing how many liberals and "leftists" are telling Musk he's stupid and reckless for speaking irreverently to a Senator (!), especially one with power over his companies. These people are such fucking authoritarians: you speak to Democratic Senators with respect or else! https://t.co/7kPtUEbVsd — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@here4theshtshow That's part of the argument expressed in the article. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@here4theshtshow Did you read the article before commenting on it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's always been an interesting tension in how anti-semitism accusations are treated in "anti-cancel culture" discourse and how similar types of bigotry accusations are treated. The above article is designed to examine whether these principles are consistently applied. https://t.co/ES3FH012e0 — PolitiTweet.org

The Cudgel of Antisemitism: Is there a crisis of hatred against Western Jews, or are they just another causality in the game of victimhood politics? By Sam Kriss, for our "Outside Voices" op-ed section on Substack: https://t.co/FVAKGw0AWC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@abradacabla David Frum is a fascist. You just deny that because he's a Democrat now, but if I'm "defending" Kent, then you're "defending" Frum, and between the two of them, Frum has far more blood on his hands, and far more lawless authoritarianism, than Kent can get close to. — PolitiTweet.org
